Wonderful Development.


Mr.. John Barton. who has been visit.
ing with friends during the past winter,
will return on Monday to what he en-.
Enthusiastically claims to be the "poor
mans paradise, the garden spot Of the
world" The development of the last
five years Indicate that this claim is not
so absurd AS may appear on tho face OF
1t. Five years ago the principal cereal
crops of Dakota amounted to less than
100000 bushels, but in the last year
there was raised in that territory oyel
100000, 600 bushels Of cereals aud the in.
crease of population vas owe five fold,
There is no disputing the fact that Da'
kota is an empire within itself, and not
only has all the elements. but already
gives indications Of marvellous growth
and development. The government,
lands Of our once broad domain have
nearly all been taken up, and those re-.
manning in Dakota constitute nearly all
that are now %unoccupied aud these
too will soon be overrun by the resistles>
tide Of emigration rapidly flowing to the
great northwest. and the opportunity to
secure land At 4l.25 per acre will return
no moro forever.
